REBIRTH a journey with Somatic Voice and Movement Medicine®
A space to recreate yourself afresh. A time to loosen the skin of old stories and sound yourself into the new. This is not cutting off from the past, but more about loosening the structures of old narratives we have about ourselves, which no doubt have served us in some way in the past. Through the practices of Somatic Voicework and Movement Movement Medicine®.
This weekend is an opportunity to shed old skins and to step into more of our personal power through Voice, Song and movement. A space to Rebirth ourselves anew.
Expect to learn some resourcing techniques to resource, and nourish your nervous system, ways to build and deepen the connection to your Essence in order to be more fully expressed in the world in both your Voice and way of Being. During this workshop, there will be opportunities to release old stories, with specific tools taught to build both resilience and gentleness in the nervous system. Expect to sing, sound and dance! No singing experience needed.
Trauma Informed Voicework: has been developed by Yasia over the past 20 years. It is a way of opening and unlocking the power of your voice with the understanding that for any of us to reclaim our voices, we are making an epically brave leap, considering our combined histories in terms of voice. This approach is a non-judgmental approach to the voice and not about ‘singing in tune’ or making a ‘nice sound’ although nice sounds do occur! Its more about receiving and welcoming your true authentic voice, in an environment of unequivocal encouragement, respect and support, loosening the shame we have around our voices, bringing compassion to the fear and judgement that can often hold us back in fuller expression of Self on all levels. https://yasia.org/voicework Yasia will be offering her first training in this work in 2026.
Movement Medicine® is a Movement practice, and a synthesis of shamanic, therapeutic and devotional pathways. Movement Medicine® provides a contemporary map to support, deepen and enrich your dance both on the dance floor and through life. https://www.schoolofmovementmedicine.com/
We will be working with Voicework exercises and Movement Medicine®. We will explore and celebrate the Power of Sound, Song and Dance.
Some movement and voice will be accompanied by digital music, other parts of the course will be raw sound and movement, acoustic style, we will be the music makers! All of the above will be done within the context of simple movement medicine and somatic voicework techniques developed by Yasia, during 20 years of Voice Work practice that will be introduced over the weekend.
